A Time Called You (2023) s01e03 Episode Script
Episode 3
What is this place?
Uh, hello?
Hello? Anybody?
Hello?
What do I do?
Hello?
Hello?
Uh, what is this?
Where am I?
Mom! Someone help me!
Min-ju, I'm back to see you.
Nam Si-heon?
Kwon Min-ju!
Min-ju, are you awake now?
Do you know who I am?
Can you remember anything? Huh?
A TIME CALLED YOU
I can't believe my eyes.
Yeon-jun, I missed you!
Yeon-jun, I missed you so much!
Where were you?
I'm sorry.
I know I shouldn't have argued
with you that day.
The way you must have felt,
you were so hurt when I left you.
Yeon-jun, where were you until now, huh?
I was waiting for you for so long.
Hey. Uh, Min-ju,
you feeling all right there?
You're here.
You just called me Min-ju, but why?
Huh?
Ah!
Min-ju, are you all right?
I was so worried about you.
What is it with you both
calling me that, huh? Who is Min-ju?
Ah!
Welcome.
We are gathered here to mourn
the passing of Koo Yeon-jun.
Why didn't you keep your promise
to In-gyu? I thought we were all friends.
Any idea who mailed it to the office?
Min-ju, are you okay?
You're In-gyu?
That's it. In-gyu, you're right.
How about me? Do I look familiar to you?
Y… You're…
I'm Nam Si-heon, yeah?
You really forgot I existed?
Nam Si-heon.
Tell me what month and year this is.
Today, it's June 15th.
2023?
What? No, it's 1998.
You seriously don't remember the year?
You're telling me this is the past?
The accident she was in,
must've hit her head pretty bad.
Hey, Kwon Min-ju.
Uh… what is the last memory
that you can remember right now?
Do you remember what happened to you
the night of the accident?
You celebrated my birthday.
Uh, you guys both surprised me.
There was a cake, and we went to the park.
-What else?
-Uh-huh.
Actually…
…I thought I saw Yeon-jun.
That was my first birthday
without Yeon-jun there to remind me.
Wha… What was that?
No, that's not right!
Oh, I remember.
I ran out of my home
in order to find my mom,
who disappeared with my brother.
But suddenly, a car came
speeding toward me really fast.
I was so startled,
I couldn't move out of the way.
Uh-huh, that's what it was.
That's how the accident happened,
if I recall correctly.
So where are
Mom and Do-hun right now?
Hey, what is it?
-Hey, where's my mom right now?
-She was here earlier.
Uh, but then she had to go
to your house for something.
She went home even though
her daughter was completely unconscious
and dying in the hospital?
I bet this is because of Do-hun.
That little brat, seriously!
I need you guys to take me home!
Answer the phone, huh?
Did you really have to call me
all the way from the kitchen?
Do-hun, how can you sit there gaming
while your sister's in the hospital?
I ought to take your stupid game console
and burn it, seriously.
You burn it, I'll run away.
You can be such a little shit,
you know that?
You should be at the hospital.
Why are you still here?
Oh, I, um… I just needed
to cook Do-hun some dinner is all.
I told you I'd take care of everything,
didn't I?
Hurry back to the hospital.
What if something happens to Min-ju?
Wait, how bad was it? Will Min-ju be okay?
Min-ju is, um…
Oh, shit.
Min-ju, when did you wake up?
Who brought you back from the hospital?
Wow.
This is so ridiculous.
I can't believe this at all. Huh?
Tell me,
Mom, did you seriously come back home
just to cook dinner for Do-hun?
I had to cook him some dinner,
because I was worried
he'd just skip it if I didn't.
Then let him go hungry!
It wouldn't kill him to skip his dinner.
Man, I can't believe
you left your only daughter
in the hospital all alone. Huh?
And also, how could you abandon me
and disappear with Do-hun like that?
Oh, no, no.
I didn't abandon you at all, honey.
Yeah, but then why did you
leave the house completely ransacked
with everything upside down?
Ah, ah, that's…
Do-hun ransacked the house.
And I went after him,
because I thought he stole money
from the safe and ran away with it.
Will you two just shut up?
I'm trying to play my game over here.
Ouch!
Hey!
Hey, what the hell, huh?
"Hey"?
"Hey"?
You don't say hey when I address you,
you got it?
Pathetic. You're always hiding behind Mom.
I'll beat your ass if you keep this up.
Mom, this is your fault.
You'll spoil him all the time.
It's no wonder he's turned into a brat.
This is your doing.
You have some nerve telling me
to be more understanding.
Why do you do this to me?
I'm still your daughter.
Do you even care? Huh?
-Oh, Min-ju. Min-ju.
-Oh, Min-ju.
It's understandable that you're angry, but
you really shouldn't be here right now.
Come on, Min-ju. I'll go back with you.
I'll go alone.
Ah.
Hey, Yeon-jun, take me back
to the hospital, will you?
Wait. What? I'm Nam Si-heon, actually.
I don't really care
what your name is right now.
So let's get going!
Okay then.
Hey, Min-ju!
-Oh.
-Are you okay?
Look this way.
Hmm.
Can you tell me your name
and your age, please?
Han Jun-hee.
Oh.
Kwon Min-ju?
Kwon Min-ju. Yeah, that's it.
Hmm. How old are you?
Thirty-six years old… uh…
Uh, actually, 18 years old. That's right.
Currently, 18 years old.
Do you remember
how you got, uh, to this hospital?
Oh, right, um,
so I guess I was hit by a car?
-What did she say?
-Are you… sure about that?
Mmm, I am.
Excuse me, Doctor.
She seems a little unwell.
Is her injury very serious?
Well, her wounds are
not as severe as we originally thought.
Her confusion of the incident
could stem from
the shock of the accident, most likely.
But we will keep her here for just
a few more days and keep an eye on her.
Thank you so much, Doctor.
Why are you two boys still here?
Ah, um, now that we know she's all right,
I guess we'll get going.
Goodbye, Min-ju.
Min-ju, the police
are going to talk to you later on
'cause they have
some questions for you, okay?
The police? But why?
Min-ju, you… weren't hurt
because of a car accident.
They actually found you
abandoned in a field
with blood coming out of your head.
It was a passerby who phoned
the paramedics and got you help.
Oh.
So I probably got that injury
because of the car accident, hmm?
According to the police, you were hit
with a blunt object on the head,
given the size and shape of the wound.
Hey, In-gyu!
Are you mad at me or something?
Oh, you, uh… you saw
Min-ju and I hugging, is that it?
She believed I was
this Yeon-jun guy, right?
I'm not mad about today.
It's about the other day.
-What's that?
-I saw it all.
On her birthday,
she said she wanted to be with you.
I will never like you
in that way, Min-ju.
Is it 'cause In-gyu
is your best friend?
Is it because he likes me? Is that it?
That's not what this is about.
I only see you as a friend, okay?
Please don't ever
get your hopes up for me.
Don't worry. I'm gonna pretend
that we never discussed this.
Just make sure In-gyu
doesn't find out about this, understood?
I'll get going then. See you later.
You broke her heart that night.
If you hadn't said all that to her,
it's quite possible
that she might not have run off
and the accident wouldn't have happened.
So I'm responsible for all of this
because I rejected Min-ju that night?
Really? So I was supposed to lie to her
to make her believe I'm interested?
What you said was incredibly cruel.
She was completely hurt.
If you hadn't been so mean to her,
she probably would've asked us for help.
Hey, Jung In-gyu. Are you positive
you're angry with me,
or is there another reason?
Maybe you're just beating up on yourself
'cause you didn't have the courage
to tell her your feelings?
You're right. I don't have a reason
to be angry with you.
Aren't you at least going
to say hi to your sister?
Oh, you're here.
What? Why are you getting so close?
Just looking at you seriously
gives me a pit in my stomach.
So you definitely must be
my brother for real,
yet you're still unfamiliar too.
It's making me sick.
It's all right.
You'll be okay, honey.
Here have something to drink, okay?
Also, you can't go around by yourself
because they haven't, uh, captured
the culprit at the moment.
Okay, I'll keep low.
Please go and rest a little.
-Why are you going that way?
-Huh?
Your bedroom
is upstairs over there, isn't it?
I know where it is.
I was just testing you all. Don't worry.
Why would you test us, huh?
Min-ju?
Hey, was it too soon for her
to leave the hospital?
Will you just be quiet?
Wow, this is definitely not my style.
Do I seriously have to wear these clothes?
LOGARITHMS
Hmm.
Hmm?
Oh.
It’s been a month
since the first semester
of the new year has started.
I’ve been trying to mingle
with the other students in my school,
but I failed yet again.
Every year
with each new semester,
I try to make friends
with the students in my class,
but I always end up alone.
I try talking to them.
I even pretend to laugh at their jokes.
But in the end,
I am always left by myself.
What the heck?
Did I really write
all this gloomy stuff in here?
Why is this journal
so depressing and dark? Seriously.
I become breathless
whenever I see his dazzling smile.
-You almost have it.
-I'll try it again.
It's so contagious that…
…I can’t help but smile myself.
At times,
I feel so unworthy of Nam Si-heon.
Yet I still can’t take my eyes off of him.
The more I like him,
the more insecure I begin to feel.
-Yes?
-I need you for a minute.
The police would like
to talk with you downstairs.
How are you feeling today?
You seem well.
-I'm much better. Thanks.
-Hmm.
So, by any chance, Kwon Min-ju,
on the night of your assault, can you
recall who might have attacked you?
I don't.
Actually, I didn't even realize
that there was an attack that night.
Hmm.
Um, what about that night
can you remember then?
I only remember the car accident,
Car accident? Where did that happen?
Um, it was right near Noksan Intersection
where the road turns into the tunnel.
You were picked up far away from there.
Hmm…
In that case,
usually when a vehicle hits a pedestrian,
the victim's knees become fractured.
Your doctor didn't say anything about
your knees being severely injured at all.
Well, my knees were still
a little… scratched from the incident.
Then, it's highly unlikely
that you were hurt from a car…
Also, um,
judging from the wound on your head,
it appears you were hit
with a blunt object that night.
Oh.
Really? That's so strange.
Well, I don't remember
being hit on the head. I'm sorry.
Officers, if she can't remember anything,
will you even be able to…
What if you're unable
to catch the culprit who did this to her?
We’re investigating the scene
of the crime to find any evidence,
and we're interviewing everyone
in the area for any witnesses.
But, for now, I would recommend that
she should focus on regaining her memory.
Please call us at this number
if you remember anything at all, okay?
-Thank you for everything.
-Okay.
-Take care of yourself.
-Thank you very much.
Okay, so I don’t have any enemies.
And I'm not the kind of person
to argue with anyone either.
So who in the world could've done this?
It's pissing me off.
What was that sound?
Here, have a drumstick. It's really good.
Why chicken?
Um, if you eat meat,
it'll help you recover quicker… probably.
If you bought me dinner, then you
must have something important to tell me.
Well, um, I, uh… I guess, uh, yeah.
It's about your birthday.
Ah… yeah.
That's right. You told me
that you could never like me in that way.
-Uh, yeah, you're right, actually.
-Mm-hmm.
I… I don't want to make you feel, um,
like you can't be friends with us anymore.
If anything were to happen to you,
we want to be there
to help you, Min-ju, okay?
You shouldn't wander off
by yourself anymore, all right?
Why would you care?
Didn't you reject me, huh?
I rejected you, yes.
That doesn't mean we can't be friends
and still hang out together
like we used to.
Mm-mm. No, we shouldn't remain friends,
because you originally rejected me
and I'm setting the boundaries now.
What?
Are you sure you're really Kwon Min-ju?
I mean, in the past, you'd
be painfully embarrassed to even
have this conversation
that we're having right now.
But since your accident…
Now what?
You're talking
like completely different person.
That's totally it.
You're completely right.
You've hit the nail on the head.
That’s what’s been bothering me.
Earlier today,
when I read through my journal, I…
I know it was a version of me
who wrote all those very weird things
inside of there.
But somehow, it felt like someone else's.
I wonder…
I, uh… I don't think it's me sometimes.
Yeon-jun, you rejected me
after I said I liked you, right?
There's that Yeon-jun thing again.
I'd never say my feelings to anyone
like that or be rejected in that way.
I'd only ever tell someone
that I was really into them
after the two of us had already
started flirting and the timing was right.
Hmm. I'd never get rejected.
I wanna ask you something.
-Who is this Koo Yeon-jun guy? Huh?
-Hmm?
You've been calling me Yeon-jun ever since
you left the hospital the other day.
So who is this Yeon-jun, huh?
If I'm honest with you,
you'll probably think I'm a crazy person.
No, it’s okay.
I suspected already
that you weren't in your right mind, so…
Tell me, please.
We've been sharing our secrets
with one another, so please just say it.
Mmm…
Well, um, when…
when I awoke at the hospital,
I didn't feel like Kwon Min-ju at all.
You know that feeling?
You wake up after a long dream, and then,
the dream you woke from
suddenly feels real
and the real you has somehow disappeared.
So, um, who are you then?
In my head, I wasn't Kwon Min-ju.
I was Han Jun-hee.
And you… you weren't Nam Si-heon.
You were Koo Yeon-jun.
As Min-ju, I'm always so scared and quiet.
But when I was Jun-hee,
I was confident. Yeah, I was.
Hmm. And I was really successful
at my job too so you know.
Uh, so this Yeon-jun guy, what's he about?
Hmm.
So you and I knew each other
when we were…
Sorry. Yeon-jun and I met in college.
IN SEARCH OF LOST TIME
Boo.
Boo!
Huh?
Forget it.
IN SEARCH OF LOST TIME
In my dream,
from the first time he and I met,
he treated me like he had known me
for a very long time.
He knew me better than I knew myself,
even during the times
where I wouldn't say anything.
We started living together
after we graduated from college.
And we were so poor, we could only afford
a small basement studio.
But we were both happy to be together.
We had plans to get married.
And I thought I would live
happily ever after with him.
However, Yeon-jun…
Yeon-jun eventually died in an accident.
Even after he was gone,
I couldn't find it within myself
to let go of him.
Even though I knew full well
that he was gone…
my heart just couldn't accept
the truth at all.
I didn’t realize…
that things would become this crazy.
Huh?
I had no idea you were
that obsessed with me.
Huh?
The idea you dreamt of living with me
shows how deep your feelings truly are.
Oh… Uh, I'll leave now.
I’m being totally serious, okay?
I don’t know why I ever liked
a guy like you in the first place,
making jokes when I’m telling you
something sincere.
Also, Yeon-jun is the man I like, not you.
So dream on. You got it?
So please, please don't get the wrong idea
and forget everything I just told you.
And leave me alone. Ugh!
I'm the one who said
to pretend it never happened.
Don't forget that, okay?
You tell me that you like me,
and now you tell me
to forget it even happened at all?
What's wrong with you?
"What's wrong with you?" I just asked you
to forget about what I said, didn't I?
Ah, I see.
You had feelings for me too, right?
You did!
You can't be serious.
-Ah, I know what you’re trying to do here.
-Oh, do you?
You created this fantasy
just out of complete embarrassment
all because… I rejected you, huh?
That’s not it at all.
In the dream, I really was a…
Oh, forget it. Never mind.
Hey, Min-ju!
You're embarrassed. I totally get it.
But don't make up stories anymore
from now on, okay?
It'll make you look crazy.
Why don't you focus on yourself,
'cause you're a joke!
You created this fantasy
just out of complete embarrassment
all because I rejected you, huh?
Oh, he's so stupid.
I only told him because he asked me to.
Ugh, he's so annoying!
Min-ju has changed, huh?
But to an entirely different girl.
She's become so outspoken now, right?
But how's that possible, huh?
It's really you.
Yeon-jun!
You came back to me.
And we were so poor
we could only afford
a small basement studio.
But we were both happy to be together.
And I thought I would live
happily ever after with Yeon-jun.
However, he, uh…
he eventually died in an accident.
Hey!
Wow. What a brat. Seriously, is he deaf?
Hey, Kwon Do-hun!
Get up! Hey, get up!
Get up!
Hmm?
Do we even pass as siblings?
Hmm.
We definitely look more related,
so why doesn’t it
feel like she’s my mother?
Why didn’t you wake me up?
I’m going to be late!
My school's not like yours.
If I'm late, they punish us, huh?
Hmm…
I actually did wake you.
And anyway, what kind of high schooler
still needs his sister for that?
From now on, it's your job to wake up
on your own, got it?
Or else I'll… mmm!
I'll hammer your alarm in half.
Um, I'm hungry.
Go grab something.
Don't expect me to be
your servant anymore, you got it?
Hey, Mom, first, she wouldn’t wake me up,
and now, she's making me
grab my own breakfast.
From now on, you can wake up yourself
-Huh?
-You can’t rely on your sister forever.
Did you sleep well last night?
-Mm-hmm.
-Mmm.
Oh, there's bean sprout soup for you.
I'll get you a little.
I’ll go get it myself.
Don't worry about me, okay?
Look at you.
What a nice daughter I have.
Thank you for this hangover remedy.
You need to eat more breakfast.
Have you been eating well?
Hmm, let me make you something. How about
I make your favorite dish for you?
Bulgogi?
Hey.
Um, Min-ju, are you not going to school?
Just, you're not dressed yet.
Your sister is still recovering.
It's probably better for her
to remain here at home,
because the police
haven't been able to find the culprit.
Your memories haven't returned at all yet.
Mmm.
Mm-hmm.
You have to be careful until they do, hmm?
-He's a monster, okay?
-Okay, I will.
Kwon Do-hun, do the dishes
before you go to school.
Who, me?
Were you just telling me
to do the dishes right now?
-Hey, Mom!
-I have heartburn.
There you are.
I can make breakfast for myself, Grandma.
You should sleep more in the mornings.
Oh, it's quite all right.
At my age, it's hard to sleep in.
You'll see one day.
You're the one
who needs to sleep in more, actually.
You must be tired from studying so hard.
Oh, didn't you say…
I thought you had told me
you misplaced your hearing aid.
It appears
you were able to find it, In-gyu.
Where did you find it?
Actually, I haven't yet.
This one's an old one
I used to use a long time ago.
Oh.
I wonder…
Where could you have lost it then?
Would you like me
to buy you a new hearing aid?
I've been told
that the new ones are quite nice.
I'll be fine with this one. Don't worry.
Okay then.
Hurry up. Eat your breakfast.
Look up here.
There are two theories on social change.
One is evolutionary,
the other is cyclical.
In the evolutionary theory,
society progresses in one direction.
In my head, I wasn't Kwon Min-ju.
I was Han Jun-hee.
And you… you weren't Nam Si-heon.
You were Koo Yeon-jun.
Civilizations
continue to rise and fall.
They rise and they fall like this.
Rise and fall.
Do you understand?
-Yes?
-Yes.
KOO YEON-JUN
Now, again.
The evolutionary theory
is about progression and development,
while the cyclical theory
is about rise and fall.
This is important.
It’ll be on your next exam.
Yes.
That's all class.
Attention! Bow!
Thank you!
Hey, In-gyu!
Let's go together.
-You're planing to go see Min-ju, right?
-I'll go on my own if that's okay.
You were the one
who said I should treat her better.
Also, uh, at any moment,
the culprit could show up.
It's best if we stick together.
Don't go on your own.
That way, if anything happens,
I'll be there to protect you.
Let's get going, hmm?
Hold on, actually.
-That day I got angry at you…
-Ah, no, don't worry.
You don't need to apologize to me
for anything, okay?
Come on.
Who is it?
-Hello there.
-What's this?
What are you both doing here?
How is your head doing today?
Mmm, well, it's great. My head is good.
I'm blessed with a hard head, actually.
Yeah, I don't doubt that.
So why are you here?
We really wanna help you
catch the culprit behind all this.
Are you serious?
If the police can't catch them,
how can you?
There must be a way.
First on the agenda is to go somewhere.
Go where?
The first step in any investigation
is to return
to the scene of the crime, right?
It… it was right here.
-Right here?
-Yeah.
That night the taxi was driving
along the bridge right over there and…
and I ran after it.
Then I ran into the street to catch it.
But I missed it.
And right there, that's when a car
came hurtling towards me.
And I’m pretty certain that's
when the car hit me, I think.
Then what?
After that,
I can't remember anything else, actually.
Do you recognize this place?
Because this is the spot you were found
that morning with your head injured.
I was found all the way out here?
-You don't remember?
-Mmm, no, I don't.
So this location is quite a walk
from the place
where you said the car hit you, isn't is?
So then, how did you end up here
in the first place? Who brought you here?
Huh.
Ah!
You were dragged here
by the attacker that night. Make sense?
-I was brought here?
-Uh-huh. It makes total sense, right?
Let Min-ju remember by herself.
Don't force her
into believing made-up stories.
She doesn't even remember,
so this is just a theory for now.
Si-heon, that's not a theory.
You're just playing around.
By any chance, do you remember
seeing anybody the night of the assault?
Hmm?
Now you're pushing your stories onto her.
-That's not true.
-Why, yes, you are.
-Uh, well, I…
-Hold on. Just give me a minute.
I need you guys to be quiet
so I can think for a sec.
That night, you guys
threw me a birthday party,
After that I went home, but after that…
Ah!
Yeon-jun, In-gyu,
you're making me even more confused!
You said Yeon-jun again.
Seriously, it's not Yeon-jun, okay?
I'm not the boyfriend from your dream.
I thought I told you
to forget about all that.
Um, what dream was that?
What do you mean by boyfriend?
Oh, that… So actually--
Hey, guys, I don’t think
I can remember much more.
How about we get going?
Si-heon, tell me what's going on.
I wanna know.
You wanna know? Ask Min-ju about it.
I couldn't make sense
what she was saying anyways.
Hmm.
Thanks so much for the ride. See you!
What is it?
Do you have something to say?
I, uh…
I was wondering if you could tell me
about the dream Si-heon mentioned earlier.
Ah, that. It wasn't… it wasn't anything.
Hmm. Mmm. Don't tell me
if you're uncomfortable about it.
Ah, it’s not like that, In-gyu. It's…
There was this silly dream I had
when I was in the hospital.
I had a different name, Han Jun-hee.
I was a totally different person.
And Nam Si-heon was
actually called Koo Yeon-jun.
And we were both,
mmm,
well, the two of us were dating.
Mmm, we were very much in love.
It’s really weird, isn’t it?
It’s weird even when I think of it.
But In my dream,
Koo Yeon-jun just felt so real, you know,
that now, Si-heon still reminds me of him.
I get those two confused all the time.
If Koo Yeon-jun is the one
you've been dreaming about,
then that would mean…
that would mean, in reality,
you like that guy
in your dreams and not Si-heon,
isn't that right?
Hmm?
So it's definitely possible for us
to have a chance to date.
-Ah. Oh, In-gyu, uh--
-I have something to say to you.
I really like you.
I’ve had my eye on you for a while
ever since I saw you.
-Hurry up and run!
-No, you hurry up!
We’re going to lose our seats!
"I don't want to be all alone."
"Is there anyone who cares
about me at all anymore?"
"I wish there was
someone out there who would…"
I want someone
to accept me for who I am,
and I don't wanna keep feeling like this!
I wanted to tell you at the time…
that I understood
what it felt like
…to be left out and alone.
-Wanna grab a burger?
-Sure.
Hamburgers!
-Hey, Si-heon.
-Hey, let’s go.
-Hey, what’s this?
-The science test materials.
We'll be quizzed on all the elements
from potassium to lead.
Come on. Hurry up, In-gyu?
Uh…
Let’s go, yeah.
He knocked this guy out
with a single blow.
It was completely savage. Isn't that cool?
But in a way, it doesn’t make any sense.
Hey, look at this.
The way he looks from the back,
isn’t that awesome?
Wow, seriously.
So cool.
When I found out…
that you actually liked Si-heon,
I gave up on us completely.
But then, when you got hurt,
I realized that it would be better
to tell you my true feelings…
even if you reject me in the end anyway.
Hmm.
Oh, In-gyu, I, uh…
Thanks for saying that.
You're so sweet. I appreciate it.
-But right now, I--
-I'm not asking for an answer now.
I just really want you to know
that I think
that… that you truly are a…
profound person,
and I'm happy to have met you, Min-ju.
Please take your time. There's no rush.
As I was listening
to In-gyu tell me his feelings,
I somehow felt that I wasn’t
the one who should be listening.
I know In-gyu was talking about me,
but at the same time it seemed like he
was talking about someone else entirely.
That’s why I couldn’t reply
to his emotional confession.
I don’t know why my thoughts led me there.
Could it be
because of that stupid dream?
Kwon Min-ju!
Though I still can't remember
what happened the day of the accident,
pretty soon everything was back to normal.
Now that I've returned
to the familiarity of my everyday life,
it's hard to believe
that any of it ever happened.
Kwon Min-ju!
Hey, Nam Si-heon, Jung In-gyu!
This isn't a comic book store.
Put those away.
-Uh-huh.
-Mm-hmm.
All right.
Wow.
This is nice.
Hey, that belongs to my uncle,
so put it down!
Put it down! Give it back!
-Why?
-I said give it to me, Si-heon!
Hey, Si-heon, just give it back to Min-ju.
This is her store.
If you end up breaking the camera,
he's gonna kill me, all right?
Well, how much is
this camera worth to him?
Is… is it expensive?
-Hey, you!
-Ah!
You little brat!
Do you know how hard it was
to acquire this?
How about capturing
some memories
instead of letting
it collect dust all the time?
-Why, you little…
-Ah! Ah.
You better behave.
-Uh-huh! Behave! You deserved that!
-Ah! Why did you do that?
If you fool around like that,
that's what you get.
Isn't that right?
Stand closer together.
Yeah, perfect.
Here we go…
One, two, three.
We've been spending
all our time together lately.
It's like we've known each other
for years.
As the days go by,
that dream I had while I was
in the hospital is slowly fading away,
and with that, the feeling
that I am somehow not Kwon Min-ju.
But the thing I still can't get over
is that Nam Si-heon still reminds me
of that guy from my dream,
Koo Yeon-jun.
I still think of him from time to time.
My uncle had
some extra copies printed. Here's yours.
Min-ju.
Her handwriting is still really atrocious.
Hey! I was listening to that.
Why did you turn it off?
You were falling asleep on the job
is what you were doing.
You should play
some other songs, you know.
Stop listening
to the same ones over and over.
Okay.
Hello there. How are you?
We're with the Noksan Police Station.
We have some questions.
Oh, it's about Min-ju's case?
Is that why both of you are here?
Yes. How are you feeling today?
Uh, I'm good. Thanks.
Um, but just so you know,
I still can't remember anything
that happened to me that day.
Actually, we wanted to bring this
to your attention.
This right here is from the crime scene.
We were wondering if you recognize it.
That's a hearing aid
that I'm always supposed to be wearing.
Otherwise, my right ear
is totally deaf without it.
So you think the culprit
might have dropped this that night?
Well, we will need to investigate further
to figure out who this belongs to first.
But by any chance, is there anybody
you know that is hard-of-hearing, Min-ju?
Someone, Help me!
Someone, help me! Help me!
Excuse me, miss?
It's the last stop.
You need to get off now.
Can you tell me where we are?
Is this Noksan?
Noksan?
No, we're in Seoul, of course.
Did you just say Seoul?
That means we're back
in the year 2023 then?
So I'm not in the past in 1998?
It's still the year 2023, remember?
You must be dazed from sleeping.
Get off the bus, please.
But I know I was just Kwon Min-ju.
Just a moment ago.
So was it all just one big dream then?
YEON-JUN
9:21 P.M.
YEON-JUN
YEON-JUN
DIALING
Anybody there?
Uh, hello?
Hello? Anybody?
Hello?
What do I do?
Hello?
Hello?
Uh, what is this?
Where am I?
Mom! Someone help me!
Min-ju, I'm back to see you.
Nam Si-heon?
Kwon Min-ju!
Min-ju, are you awake now?
Do you know who I am?
Can you remember anything? Huh?
A TIME CALLED YOU
I can't believe my eyes.
Yeon-jun, I missed you!
Yeon-jun, I missed you so much!
Where were you?
I'm sorry.
I know I shouldn't have argued
with you that day.
The way you must have felt,
you were so hurt when I left you.
Yeon-jun, where were you until now, huh?
I was waiting for you for so long.
Hey. Uh, Min-ju,
you feeling all right there?
You're here.
You just called me Min-ju, but why?
Huh?
Ah!
Min-ju, are you all right?
I was so worried about you.
What is it with you both
calling me that, huh? Who is Min-ju?
Ah!
Welcome.
We are gathered here to mourn
the passing of Koo Yeon-jun.
Why didn't you keep your promise
to In-gyu? I thought we were all friends.
Any idea who mailed it to the office?
Min-ju, are you okay?
You're In-gyu?
That's it. In-gyu, you're right.
How about me? Do I look familiar to you?
Y… You're…
I'm Nam Si-heon, yeah?
You really forgot I existed?
Nam Si-heon.
Tell me what month and year this is.
Today, it's June 15th.
2023?
What? No, it's 1998.
You seriously don't remember the year?
You're telling me this is the past?
The accident she was in,
must've hit her head pretty bad.
Hey, Kwon Min-ju.
Uh… what is the last memory
that you can remember right now?
Do you remember what happened to you
the night of the accident?
You celebrated my birthday.
Uh, you guys both surprised me.
There was a cake, and we went to the park.
-What else?
-Uh-huh.
Actually…
…I thought I saw Yeon-jun.
That was my first birthday
without Yeon-jun there to remind me.
Wha… What was that?
No, that's not right!
Oh, I remember.
I ran out of my home
in order to find my mom,
who disappeared with my brother.
But suddenly, a car came
speeding toward me really fast.
I was so startled,
I couldn't move out of the way.
Uh-huh, that's what it was.
That's how the accident happened,
if I recall correctly.
So where are
Mom and Do-hun right now?
Hey, what is it?
-Hey, where's my mom right now?
-She was here earlier.
Uh, but then she had to go
to your house for something.
She went home even though
her daughter was completely unconscious
and dying in the hospital?
I bet this is because of Do-hun.
That little brat, seriously!
I need you guys to take me home!
Answer the phone, huh?
Did you really have to call me
all the way from the kitchen?
Do-hun, how can you sit there gaming
while your sister's in the hospital?
I ought to take your stupid game console
and burn it, seriously.
You burn it, I'll run away.
You can be such a little shit,
you know that?
You should be at the hospital.
Why are you still here?
Oh, I, um… I just needed
to cook Do-hun some dinner is all.
I told you I'd take care of everything,
didn't I?
Hurry back to the hospital.
What if something happens to Min-ju?
Wait, how bad was it? Will Min-ju be okay?
Min-ju is, um…
Oh, shit.
Min-ju, when did you wake up?
Who brought you back from the hospital?
Wow.
This is so ridiculous.
I can't believe this at all. Huh?
Tell me,
Mom, did you seriously come back home
just to cook dinner for Do-hun?
I had to cook him some dinner,
because I was worried
he'd just skip it if I didn't.
Then let him go hungry!
It wouldn't kill him to skip his dinner.
Man, I can't believe
you left your only daughter
in the hospital all alone. Huh?
And also, how could you abandon me
and disappear with Do-hun like that?
Oh, no, no.
I didn't abandon you at all, honey.
Yeah, but then why did you
leave the house completely ransacked
with everything upside down?
Ah, ah, that's…
Do-hun ransacked the house.
And I went after him,
because I thought he stole money
from the safe and ran away with it.
Will you two just shut up?
I'm trying to play my game over here.
Ouch!
Hey!
Hey, what the hell, huh?
"Hey"?
"Hey"?
You don't say hey when I address you,
you got it?
Pathetic. You're always hiding behind Mom.
I'll beat your ass if you keep this up.
Mom, this is your fault.
You'll spoil him all the time.
It's no wonder he's turned into a brat.
This is your doing.
You have some nerve telling me
to be more understanding.
Why do you do this to me?
I'm still your daughter.
Do you even care? Huh?
-Oh, Min-ju. Min-ju.
-Oh, Min-ju.
It's understandable that you're angry, but
you really shouldn't be here right now.
Come on, Min-ju. I'll go back with you.
I'll go alone.
Ah.
Hey, Yeon-jun, take me back
to the hospital, will you?
Wait. What? I'm Nam Si-heon, actually.
I don't really care
what your name is right now.
So let's get going!
Okay then.
Hey, Min-ju!
-Oh.
-Are you okay?
Look this way.
Hmm.
Can you tell me your name
and your age, please?
Han Jun-hee.
Oh.
Kwon Min-ju?
Kwon Min-ju. Yeah, that's it.
Hmm. How old are you?
Thirty-six years old… uh…
Uh, actually, 18 years old. That's right.
Currently, 18 years old.
Do you remember
how you got, uh, to this hospital?
Oh, right, um,
so I guess I was hit by a car?
-What did she say?
-Are you… sure about that?
Mmm, I am.
Excuse me, Doctor.
She seems a little unwell.
Is her injury very serious?
Well, her wounds are
not as severe as we originally thought.
Her confusion of the incident
could stem from
the shock of the accident, most likely.
But we will keep her here for just
a few more days and keep an eye on her.
Thank you so much, Doctor.
Why are you two boys still here?
Ah, um, now that we know she's all right,
I guess we'll get going.
Goodbye, Min-ju.
Min-ju, the police
are going to talk to you later on
'cause they have
some questions for you, okay?
The police? But why?
Min-ju, you… weren't hurt
because of a car accident.
They actually found you
abandoned in a field
with blood coming out of your head.
It was a passerby who phoned
the paramedics and got you help.
Oh.
So I probably got that injury
because of the car accident, hmm?
According to the police, you were hit
with a blunt object on the head,
given the size and shape of the wound.
Hey, In-gyu!
Are you mad at me or something?
Oh, you, uh… you saw
Min-ju and I hugging, is that it?
She believed I was
this Yeon-jun guy, right?
I'm not mad about today.
It's about the other day.
-What's that?
-I saw it all.
On her birthday,
she said she wanted to be with you.
I will never like you
in that way, Min-ju.
Is it 'cause In-gyu
is your best friend?
Is it because he likes me? Is that it?
That's not what this is about.
I only see you as a friend, okay?
Please don't ever
get your hopes up for me.
Don't worry. I'm gonna pretend
that we never discussed this.
Just make sure In-gyu
doesn't find out about this, understood?
I'll get going then. See you later.
You broke her heart that night.
If you hadn't said all that to her,
it's quite possible
that she might not have run off
and the accident wouldn't have happened.
So I'm responsible for all of this
because I rejected Min-ju that night?
Really? So I was supposed to lie to her
to make her believe I'm interested?
What you said was incredibly cruel.
She was completely hurt.
If you hadn't been so mean to her,
she probably would've asked us for help.
Hey, Jung In-gyu. Are you positive
you're angry with me,
or is there another reason?
Maybe you're just beating up on yourself
'cause you didn't have the courage
to tell her your feelings?
You're right. I don't have a reason
to be angry with you.
Aren't you at least going
to say hi to your sister?
Oh, you're here.
What? Why are you getting so close?
Just looking at you seriously
gives me a pit in my stomach.
So you definitely must be
my brother for real,
yet you're still unfamiliar too.
It's making me sick.
It's all right.
You'll be okay, honey.
Here have something to drink, okay?
Also, you can't go around by yourself
because they haven't, uh, captured
the culprit at the moment.
Okay, I'll keep low.
Please go and rest a little.
-Why are you going that way?
-Huh?
Your bedroom
is upstairs over there, isn't it?
I know where it is.
I was just testing you all. Don't worry.
Why would you test us, huh?
Min-ju?
Hey, was it too soon for her
to leave the hospital?
Will you just be quiet?
Wow, this is definitely not my style.
Do I seriously have to wear these clothes?
LOGARITHMS
Hmm.
Hmm?
Oh.
It’s been a month
since the first semester
of the new year has started.
I’ve been trying to mingle
with the other students in my school,
but I failed yet again.
Every year
with each new semester,
I try to make friends
with the students in my class,
but I always end up alone.
I try talking to them.
I even pretend to laugh at their jokes.
But in the end,
I am always left by myself.
What the heck?
Did I really write
all this gloomy stuff in here?
Why is this journal
so depressing and dark? Seriously.
I become breathless
whenever I see his dazzling smile.
-You almost have it.
-I'll try it again.
It's so contagious that…
…I can’t help but smile myself.
At times,
I feel so unworthy of Nam Si-heon.
Yet I still can’t take my eyes off of him.
The more I like him,
the more insecure I begin to feel.
-Yes?
-I need you for a minute.
The police would like
to talk with you downstairs.
How are you feeling today?
You seem well.
-I'm much better. Thanks.
-Hmm.
So, by any chance, Kwon Min-ju,
on the night of your assault, can you
recall who might have attacked you?
I don't.
Actually, I didn't even realize
that there was an attack that night.
Hmm.
Um, what about that night
can you remember then?
I only remember the car accident,
Car accident? Where did that happen?
Um, it was right near Noksan Intersection
where the road turns into the tunnel.
You were picked up far away from there.
Hmm…
In that case,
usually when a vehicle hits a pedestrian,
the victim's knees become fractured.
Your doctor didn't say anything about
your knees being severely injured at all.
Well, my knees were still
a little… scratched from the incident.
Then, it's highly unlikely
that you were hurt from a car…
Also, um,
judging from the wound on your head,
it appears you were hit
with a blunt object that night.
Oh.
Really? That's so strange.
Well, I don't remember
being hit on the head. I'm sorry.
Officers, if she can't remember anything,
will you even be able to…
What if you're unable
to catch the culprit who did this to her?
We’re investigating the scene
of the crime to find any evidence,
and we're interviewing everyone
in the area for any witnesses.
But, for now, I would recommend that
she should focus on regaining her memory.
Please call us at this number
if you remember anything at all, okay?
-Thank you for everything.
-Okay.
-Take care of yourself.
-Thank you very much.
Okay, so I don’t have any enemies.
And I'm not the kind of person
to argue with anyone either.
So who in the world could've done this?
It's pissing me off.
What was that sound?
Here, have a drumstick. It's really good.
Why chicken?
Um, if you eat meat,
it'll help you recover quicker… probably.
If you bought me dinner, then you
must have something important to tell me.
Well, um, I, uh… I guess, uh, yeah.
It's about your birthday.
Ah… yeah.
That's right. You told me
that you could never like me in that way.
-Uh, yeah, you're right, actually.
-Mm-hmm.
I… I don't want to make you feel, um,
like you can't be friends with us anymore.
If anything were to happen to you,
we want to be there
to help you, Min-ju, okay?
You shouldn't wander off
by yourself anymore, all right?
Why would you care?
Didn't you reject me, huh?
I rejected you, yes.
That doesn't mean we can't be friends
and still hang out together
like we used to.
Mm-mm. No, we shouldn't remain friends,
because you originally rejected me
and I'm setting the boundaries now.
What?
Are you sure you're really Kwon Min-ju?
I mean, in the past, you'd
be painfully embarrassed to even
have this conversation
that we're having right now.
But since your accident…
Now what?
You're talking
like completely different person.
That's totally it.
You're completely right.
You've hit the nail on the head.
That’s what’s been bothering me.
Earlier today,
when I read through my journal, I…
I know it was a version of me
who wrote all those very weird things
inside of there.
But somehow, it felt like someone else's.
I wonder…
I, uh… I don't think it's me sometimes.
Yeon-jun, you rejected me
after I said I liked you, right?
There's that Yeon-jun thing again.
I'd never say my feelings to anyone
like that or be rejected in that way.
I'd only ever tell someone
that I was really into them
after the two of us had already
started flirting and the timing was right.
Hmm. I'd never get rejected.
I wanna ask you something.
-Who is this Koo Yeon-jun guy? Huh?
-Hmm?
You've been calling me Yeon-jun ever since
you left the hospital the other day.
So who is this Yeon-jun, huh?
If I'm honest with you,
you'll probably think I'm a crazy person.
No, it’s okay.
I suspected already
that you weren't in your right mind, so…
Tell me, please.
We've been sharing our secrets
with one another, so please just say it.
Mmm…
Well, um, when…
when I awoke at the hospital,
I didn't feel like Kwon Min-ju at all.
You know that feeling?
You wake up after a long dream, and then,
the dream you woke from
suddenly feels real
and the real you has somehow disappeared.
So, um, who are you then?
In my head, I wasn't Kwon Min-ju.
I was Han Jun-hee.
And you… you weren't Nam Si-heon.
You were Koo Yeon-jun.
As Min-ju, I'm always so scared and quiet.
But when I was Jun-hee,
I was confident. Yeah, I was.
Hmm. And I was really successful
at my job too so you know.
Uh, so this Yeon-jun guy, what's he about?
Hmm.
So you and I knew each other
when we were…
Sorry. Yeon-jun and I met in college.
IN SEARCH OF LOST TIME
Boo.
Boo!
Huh?
Forget it.
IN SEARCH OF LOST TIME
In my dream,
from the first time he and I met,
he treated me like he had known me
for a very long time.
He knew me better than I knew myself,
even during the times
where I wouldn't say anything.
We started living together
after we graduated from college.
And we were so poor, we could only afford
a small basement studio.
But we were both happy to be together.
We had plans to get married.
And I thought I would live
happily ever after with him.
However, Yeon-jun…
Yeon-jun eventually died in an accident.
Even after he was gone,
I couldn't find it within myself
to let go of him.
Even though I knew full well
that he was gone…
my heart just couldn't accept
the truth at all.
I didn’t realize…
that things would become this crazy.
Huh?
I had no idea you were
that obsessed with me.
Huh?
The idea you dreamt of living with me
shows how deep your feelings truly are.
Oh… Uh, I'll leave now.
I’m being totally serious, okay?
I don’t know why I ever liked
a guy like you in the first place,
making jokes when I’m telling you
something sincere.
Also, Yeon-jun is the man I like, not you.
So dream on. You got it?
So please, please don't get the wrong idea
and forget everything I just told you.
And leave me alone. Ugh!
I'm the one who said
to pretend it never happened.
Don't forget that, okay?
You tell me that you like me,
and now you tell me
to forget it even happened at all?
What's wrong with you?
"What's wrong with you?" I just asked you
to forget about what I said, didn't I?
Ah, I see.
You had feelings for me too, right?
You did!
You can't be serious.
-Ah, I know what you’re trying to do here.
-Oh, do you?
You created this fantasy
just out of complete embarrassment
all because… I rejected you, huh?
That’s not it at all.
In the dream, I really was a…
Oh, forget it. Never mind.
Hey, Min-ju!
You're embarrassed. I totally get it.
But don't make up stories anymore
from now on, okay?
It'll make you look crazy.
Why don't you focus on yourself,
'cause you're a joke!
You created this fantasy
just out of complete embarrassment
all because I rejected you, huh?
Oh, he's so stupid.
I only told him because he asked me to.
Ugh, he's so annoying!
Min-ju has changed, huh?
But to an entirely different girl.
She's become so outspoken now, right?
But how's that possible, huh?
It's really you.
Yeon-jun!
You came back to me.
And we were so poor
we could only afford
a small basement studio.
But we were both happy to be together.
And I thought I would live
happily ever after with Yeon-jun.
However, he, uh…
he eventually died in an accident.
Hey!
Wow. What a brat. Seriously, is he deaf?
Hey, Kwon Do-hun!
Get up! Hey, get up!
Get up!
Hmm?
Do we even pass as siblings?
Hmm.
We definitely look more related,
so why doesn’t it
feel like she’s my mother?
Why didn’t you wake me up?
I’m going to be late!
My school's not like yours.
If I'm late, they punish us, huh?
Hmm…
I actually did wake you.
And anyway, what kind of high schooler
still needs his sister for that?
From now on, it's your job to wake up
on your own, got it?
Or else I'll… mmm!
I'll hammer your alarm in half.
Um, I'm hungry.
Go grab something.
Don't expect me to be
your servant anymore, you got it?
Hey, Mom, first, she wouldn’t wake me up,
and now, she's making me
grab my own breakfast.
From now on, you can wake up yourself
-Huh?
-You can’t rely on your sister forever.
Did you sleep well last night?
-Mm-hmm.
-Mmm.
Oh, there's bean sprout soup for you.
I'll get you a little.
I’ll go get it myself.
Don't worry about me, okay?
Look at you.
What a nice daughter I have.
Thank you for this hangover remedy.
You need to eat more breakfast.
Have you been eating well?
Hmm, let me make you something. How about
I make your favorite dish for you?
Bulgogi?
Hey.
Um, Min-ju, are you not going to school?
Just, you're not dressed yet.
Your sister is still recovering.
It's probably better for her
to remain here at home,
because the police
haven't been able to find the culprit.
Your memories haven't returned at all yet.
Mmm.
Mm-hmm.
You have to be careful until they do, hmm?
-He's a monster, okay?
-Okay, I will.
Kwon Do-hun, do the dishes
before you go to school.
Who, me?
Were you just telling me
to do the dishes right now?
-Hey, Mom!
-I have heartburn.
There you are.
I can make breakfast for myself, Grandma.
You should sleep more in the mornings.
Oh, it's quite all right.
At my age, it's hard to sleep in.
You'll see one day.
You're the one
who needs to sleep in more, actually.
You must be tired from studying so hard.
Oh, didn't you say…
I thought you had told me
you misplaced your hearing aid.
It appears
you were able to find it, In-gyu.
Where did you find it?
Actually, I haven't yet.
This one's an old one
I used to use a long time ago.
Oh.
I wonder…
Where could you have lost it then?
Would you like me
to buy you a new hearing aid?
I've been told
that the new ones are quite nice.
I'll be fine with this one. Don't worry.
Okay then.
Hurry up. Eat your breakfast.
Look up here.
There are two theories on social change.
One is evolutionary,
the other is cyclical.
In the evolutionary theory,
society progresses in one direction.
In my head, I wasn't Kwon Min-ju.
I was Han Jun-hee.
And you… you weren't Nam Si-heon.
You were Koo Yeon-jun.
Civilizations
continue to rise and fall.
They rise and they fall like this.
Rise and fall.
Do you understand?
-Yes?
-Yes.
KOO YEON-JUN
Now, again.
The evolutionary theory
is about progression and development,
while the cyclical theory
is about rise and fall.
This is important.
It’ll be on your next exam.
Yes.
That's all class.
Attention! Bow!
Thank you!
Hey, In-gyu!
Let's go together.
-You're planing to go see Min-ju, right?
-I'll go on my own if that's okay.
You were the one
who said I should treat her better.
Also, uh, at any moment,
the culprit could show up.
It's best if we stick together.
Don't go on your own.
That way, if anything happens,
I'll be there to protect you.
Let's get going, hmm?
Hold on, actually.
-That day I got angry at you…
-Ah, no, don't worry.
You don't need to apologize to me
for anything, okay?
Come on.
Who is it?
-Hello there.
-What's this?
What are you both doing here?
How is your head doing today?
Mmm, well, it's great. My head is good.
I'm blessed with a hard head, actually.
Yeah, I don't doubt that.
So why are you here?
We really wanna help you
catch the culprit behind all this.
Are you serious?
If the police can't catch them,
how can you?
There must be a way.
First on the agenda is to go somewhere.
Go where?
The first step in any investigation
is to return
to the scene of the crime, right?
It… it was right here.
-Right here?
-Yeah.
That night the taxi was driving
along the bridge right over there and…
and I ran after it.
Then I ran into the street to catch it.
But I missed it.
And right there, that's when a car
came hurtling towards me.
And I’m pretty certain that's
when the car hit me, I think.
Then what?
After that,
I can't remember anything else, actually.
Do you recognize this place?
Because this is the spot you were found
that morning with your head injured.
I was found all the way out here?
-You don't remember?
-Mmm, no, I don't.
So this location is quite a walk
from the place
where you said the car hit you, isn't is?
So then, how did you end up here
in the first place? Who brought you here?
Huh.
Ah!
You were dragged here
by the attacker that night. Make sense?
-I was brought here?
-Uh-huh. It makes total sense, right?
Let Min-ju remember by herself.
Don't force her
into believing made-up stories.
She doesn't even remember,
so this is just a theory for now.
Si-heon, that's not a theory.
You're just playing around.
By any chance, do you remember
seeing anybody the night of the assault?
Hmm?
Now you're pushing your stories onto her.
-That's not true.
-Why, yes, you are.
-Uh, well, I…
-Hold on. Just give me a minute.
I need you guys to be quiet
so I can think for a sec.
That night, you guys
threw me a birthday party,
After that I went home, but after that…
Ah!
Yeon-jun, In-gyu,
you're making me even more confused!
You said Yeon-jun again.
Seriously, it's not Yeon-jun, okay?
I'm not the boyfriend from your dream.
I thought I told you
to forget about all that.
Um, what dream was that?
What do you mean by boyfriend?
Oh, that… So actually--
Hey, guys, I don’t think
I can remember much more.
How about we get going?
Si-heon, tell me what's going on.
I wanna know.
You wanna know? Ask Min-ju about it.
I couldn't make sense
what she was saying anyways.
Hmm.
Thanks so much for the ride. See you!
What is it?
Do you have something to say?
I, uh…
I was wondering if you could tell me
about the dream Si-heon mentioned earlier.
Ah, that. It wasn't… it wasn't anything.
Hmm. Mmm. Don't tell me
if you're uncomfortable about it.
Ah, it’s not like that, In-gyu. It's…
There was this silly dream I had
when I was in the hospital.
I had a different name, Han Jun-hee.
I was a totally different person.
And Nam Si-heon was
actually called Koo Yeon-jun.
And we were both,
mmm,
well, the two of us were dating.
Mmm, we were very much in love.
It’s really weird, isn’t it?
It’s weird even when I think of it.
But In my dream,
Koo Yeon-jun just felt so real, you know,
that now, Si-heon still reminds me of him.
I get those two confused all the time.
If Koo Yeon-jun is the one
you've been dreaming about,
then that would mean…
that would mean, in reality,
you like that guy
in your dreams and not Si-heon,
isn't that right?
Hmm?
So it's definitely possible for us
to have a chance to date.
-Ah. Oh, In-gyu, uh--
-I have something to say to you.
I really like you.
I’ve had my eye on you for a while
ever since I saw you.
-Hurry up and run!
-No, you hurry up!
We’re going to lose our seats!
"I don't want to be all alone."
"Is there anyone who cares
about me at all anymore?"
"I wish there was
someone out there who would…"
I want someone
to accept me for who I am,
and I don't wanna keep feeling like this!
I wanted to tell you at the time…
that I understood
what it felt like
…to be left out and alone.
-Wanna grab a burger?
-Sure.
Hamburgers!
-Hey, Si-heon.
-Hey, let’s go.
-Hey, what’s this?
-The science test materials.
We'll be quizzed on all the elements
from potassium to lead.
Come on. Hurry up, In-gyu?
Uh…
Let’s go, yeah.
He knocked this guy out
with a single blow.
It was completely savage. Isn't that cool?
But in a way, it doesn’t make any sense.
Hey, look at this.
The way he looks from the back,
isn’t that awesome?
Wow, seriously.
So cool.
When I found out…
that you actually liked Si-heon,
I gave up on us completely.
But then, when you got hurt,
I realized that it would be better
to tell you my true feelings…
even if you reject me in the end anyway.
Hmm.
Oh, In-gyu, I, uh…
Thanks for saying that.
You're so sweet. I appreciate it.
-But right now, I--
-I'm not asking for an answer now.
I just really want you to know
that I think
that… that you truly are a…
profound person,
and I'm happy to have met you, Min-ju.
Please take your time. There's no rush.
As I was listening
to In-gyu tell me his feelings,
I somehow felt that I wasn’t
the one who should be listening.
I know In-gyu was talking about me,
but at the same time it seemed like he
was talking about someone else entirely.
That’s why I couldn’t reply
to his emotional confession.
I don’t know why my thoughts led me there.
Could it be
because of that stupid dream?
Kwon Min-ju!
Though I still can't remember
what happened the day of the accident,
pretty soon everything was back to normal.
Now that I've returned
to the familiarity of my everyday life,
it's hard to believe
that any of it ever happened.
Kwon Min-ju!
Hey, Nam Si-heon, Jung In-gyu!
This isn't a comic book store.
Put those away.
-Uh-huh.
-Mm-hmm.
All right.
Wow.
This is nice.
Hey, that belongs to my uncle,
so put it down!
Put it down! Give it back!
-Why?
-I said give it to me, Si-heon!
Hey, Si-heon, just give it back to Min-ju.
This is her store.
If you end up breaking the camera,
he's gonna kill me, all right?
Well, how much is
this camera worth to him?
Is… is it expensive?
-Hey, you!
-Ah!
You little brat!
Do you know how hard it was
to acquire this?
How about capturing
some memories
instead of letting
it collect dust all the time?
-Why, you little…
-Ah! Ah.
You better behave.
-Uh-huh! Behave! You deserved that!
-Ah! Why did you do that?
If you fool around like that,
that's what you get.
Isn't that right?
Stand closer together.
Yeah, perfect.
Here we go…
One, two, three.
We've been spending
all our time together lately.
It's like we've known each other
for years.
As the days go by,
that dream I had while I was
in the hospital is slowly fading away,
and with that, the feeling
that I am somehow not Kwon Min-ju.
But the thing I still can't get over
is that Nam Si-heon still reminds me
of that guy from my dream,
Koo Yeon-jun.
I still think of him from time to time.
My uncle had
some extra copies printed. Here's yours.
Min-ju.
Her handwriting is still really atrocious.
Hey! I was listening to that.
Why did you turn it off?
You were falling asleep on the job
is what you were doing.
You should play
some other songs, you know.
Stop listening
to the same ones over and over.
Okay.
Hello there. How are you?
We're with the Noksan Police Station.
We have some questions.
Oh, it's about Min-ju's case?
Is that why both of you are here?
Yes. How are you feeling today?
Uh, I'm good. Thanks.
Um, but just so you know,
I still can't remember anything
that happened to me that day.
Actually, we wanted to bring this
to your attention.
This right here is from the crime scene.
We were wondering if you recognize it.
That's a hearing aid
that I'm always supposed to be wearing.
Otherwise, my right ear
is totally deaf without it.
So you think the culprit
might have dropped this that night?
Well, we will need to investigate further
to figure out who this belongs to first.
But by any chance, is there anybody
you know that is hard-of-hearing, Min-ju?
Someone, Help me!
Someone, help me! Help me!
Excuse me, miss?
It's the last stop.
You need to get off now.
Can you tell me where we are?
Is this Noksan?
Noksan?
No, we're in Seoul, of course.
Did you just say Seoul?
That means we're back
in the year 2023 then?
So I'm not in the past in 1998?
It's still the year 2023, remember?
You must be dazed from sleeping.
Get off the bus, please.
But I know I was just Kwon Min-ju.
Just a moment ago.
So was it all just one big dream then?
